Use live stats to track progress and late changes. Foresee and respond to issues before they become problems. Spot deadline creep and implement fixes.
These are times of unique pressure in publishing: to deliver books when teams have been driven out of offices to work at home; to update workflows and tools that may not have evolved significantly in decades; and to keep creating great books despite all this. That means there's an equivalent opportunity to do things the right way, the way that works with your team and your skills.
Futureproofs is the first platform to focus on proofing as it's actually done by working editors and proofreaders. Futureproofs provides better workflow management, better team management, and better project management. And it can even reduce your carbon footprint, as a partner committed to being climate-positive across our business!
Futureproofs makes sure your team always know what's going on with their projects. Real-time statistics show time spent working, corrections made, queries being discussed and more. See who's finished early, whether the schedule is
slipping, or if late changes are being made. Find out who made which change and why. Spot issues before they become problems.
Futureproofs lives in the cloud, which means there's no software to install or maintain. We provide all the training you'll need to get started. And ongoing support is part of the package. Get comprehensive help, including face-to-face or video training, documentation and in-app chat support for all users. Futureproofs is independent of the page-layout software you use, so can fit into any publishing workflow.
Create project teams, control access by user and role, and monitor everyone's progress with no need for meetings or email chains. Support your team as they work from home or the office - with their data saved automatically to the cloud.
Communicate more effectively, resolve problems earlier and better, and track changes across the life-cycle of your books.
